Abstract

Total and differential cross sections for two-body photodisintegration of 3He have been recalculated using realistic bound-state wave functions. Contrary to previous calculations we find neither any unusual structure in the energy distributions nor any distinct signature of D-state components in the bound-state wave functions for photon energies ω ≦ 35 MeV. Final-state interactions and, possibly, meson exchange currents increase the total cross section substantially, but decrease the E2 contribution from 1 % to 0.5 %. After subtraction of spurious non-orthogonal components in the wave function, the M1 contribution decreases by about one order of magnitude to a value of 1.5 % in agreement with the experimental data.
